Seriously, that's why. They fit in civics and integras and they are outstanding seats. Since removing them from an S2k takes all of 30 seconds a black market popped up over night. Steal s2k seats, put them on craigslist for $1k and bam, easy thieving money. There's a million ricer boi's out there right now searching Craigslist for S2k seats for their "JDM civic yO".

One of the most popular things to an S2k owner on the S2k forum boards is the seat locks. They are replacement bolts for the seats that are like wheel locks so it's damn difficult to steal the seats. This way when the thief attempts to steal your seats all you have to fix is the cut top and and may get them reupholstered if they cut the leather. Much much cheaper and doesn't leave you with a salvage title.
